Excellent experience at Carolina Braces with Dr. Kent! I went through treatment to straighten my teeth and recently had my permanent retainer fitted. Dr. Kent did a great job explaining everything and making sure I was comfortable throughout the process. The staff was always friendly, helpful, and welcoming, which made each visit a pleasant experience. I’m very happy with the results and my new smile. I would definitely recommend Dr. Kent and the team at Carolina Braces.
